1O Nanak, the Gurmukh merges in the Naam. ||4||2||11||

2Malaar, Third Mehla:

3Those who are attached to the Guru's Teachings, are Jivan-mukta, liberated while yet alive.

4They remain forever awake and aware night and day, in devotional worship of the Lord.

5They serve the True Guru, and eradicate their self-conceit.

6I fall at the feet of such humble beings. ||1||

7Constantly singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I live.

8The Word of the Guru's Shabad is such totally sweet elixir. Through the Name of the Lord, I have attained the state of liberation. ||1||Pause||

9Attachment to Maya leads to the darkness of ignorance.

10The self-willed manukhs are attached, foolish and ignorant.

11Night and day, their lives pass away in worldly entanglements.

12They die and die again and again, only to be reborn and receive their punishment. ||2||

13The Gurmukh is lovingly attuned to the Name of the Lord.

14He does not cling to false greed.

15Whatever he does, he does with intuitive poise.

16He drinks in the sublime essence of the Lord; his tongue delights in its flavor. ||3||

17Among millions, hardly any understand.

18The Lord Himself forgives, and bestows His glorious greatness.

19Whoever meets with the Primal Lord God, shall never be separated again.

20Nanak is absorbed in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4||3||12||

21Malaar, Third Mehla:

22Everyone speaks the Name of the Lord with the tongue.

23But only by serving the True Guru does the mortal receive the Name.

24His bonds are shattered, and he stays in the house of liberation.

25Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he sits in the eternal, unchanging house. ||1||

26O my mind, why are you angry?

27In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Lord's Name is the source of profit. Contemplate and appreciate the Guru's Teachings within your heart, night and day. ||1||Pause||

28Each and every instant, the rainbird cries and calls.

29Without seeing her Beloved, she does not sleep at all.

30She cannot endure this separation.

31When she meets the True Guru, then she intuitively meets her Beloved. ||2||

32Lacking the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mortal suffers and dies.

33He is burnt in the fire of desire, and his hunger does not depart.

34Without good destiny, he cannot find the Naam.

35He performs all sorts of rituals until he is exhausted. ||3||

36The mortal thinks about the Vedic teachings of the three gunas, the three dispositions.

37He deals in corruption, filth and vice.

38He dies, only to be reborn; he is ruined over and over again.

39The Gurmukh enshrines the glory of the supreme state of celestial peace. ||4||

40One who has faith in the Guru - everyone has faith in him.

41Through the Guru's Word, the mind is cooled and soothed.

42Throughout the four ages, that humble being is known to be pure.

43O Nanak, that Gurmukh is so rare. ||5||4||13||9||13||22||

44Raag Malaar, Fourth Mehla, First House, Chau-Padhay:

45One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

46Night and day, I meditate on the Lord, Har, Har, within my heart; through the Guru's Teachings, my pain is forgotten.

47The chains of all my hopes and desires have been snapped; my Lord God has showered me with His Mercy. ||1||

48My eyes gaze eternally on the Lord, Har, Har.

49Gazing on the True Guru, my mind blossoms forth. I have met with the Lord, the Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||
